After experiencing how limited is a budget casing, I know my next casing must have:

1) BIG BIG gap behind for hiding away THICK THICK cables
2) Good ventilation ( minimum 3 fans)
3) What do ya call this? Like for watercooling one. Good for hiding cables ---> rubber grommet

[attachmentid=2903148]

4) And of course Side Window laugh.gif

Mother of God. Look at those fans positioned there drool.gif

Maybe CM 690 II Adv. Black&White or Corsair Carbide 500R.. smile.gif

What about cable management?  hmm.gif  It seems the 300r seems to be tidier but I wanna know if the scout can manage to be real tidy with a lot of effort and I'm in  tongue.gif

IMO,storm scout has a weak cable routing..the 300R got much better n so the 400R which got rubber grommet to hide the cables..regarding the price,u can get RM299 here inside LYN for 400R n RM269 for 300R...

But there's no window to show off,tho tongue.gif
CM 690 II Advance B&W will be good if u r looking for windowed case smile.gif

lately my PSU - 250 watts having a problem where the fan doesnt work well. im currently using Intel Core 2Duo. i planning to change to higher PSU watts, e.g. 450 Watt with new casing.

question:

1. when changing to new PSU with new casing, is it my current motherboard can slot into new casing without problem? plug and play?

Guys, mind to ask for some suggestion for good casing here based on these criterias:
-WC friendly, able to fit 240mm rad on TOP of the case
-USB 3.0 ready
-Cable management
-mATX / ATX mobo, not going for ITX
- no need big case, im not utilize too much 3.5' bay..just two, one HDD, one SSD, and probably one extra bay if i need to use it later smile.gif
-side window
-3 or 4 5.25 drive bay (two for reservoir, one ODD, and probably one for  misc)

budget wise, emm not sure, but need to find the best design so that i can save some money for that...thanks notworthy.gif

just do a few research on both Bitfenix Colossus and its window version
wow i really like the cable management concept of front I/O panel  rclxms.gif

but I found alot of people comparing this case with Corsair 650D
I like the look of 650D better, but the feature of Bitfenix Colossus is sooooo attracting!

you have any recommendation of which to go?
thanks alot ya, bro!  biggrin.gif

Hello Guys,

I'm still undecided for my case.
My budget is around RM100- 200.

Should i go for Aerocool strike x one advance , CM elite 430/431 , Xgimatek Asgard Pro (but it looks ugly) , Thermaltake Commander MS 1.

Btw how is Aerocool Strike x one advance? is the cable management , airflow , and space okay?

This is my Specs
Intel i5 2400
CM GX 650W
Asus 560ti (GC)
Asus P8B75-M LE

and anyone know where to get aerocool casings? Near Subang Jaya.
